I have noticed when braking hard as the speed get down to about 20 -30 mph I get shuddering from the front???? I have checked for warped disk(all good) and cleaned and checked pads and calipers. Steering head bearing seems ok. Brakes work fine except for the low speed shuddering when braking HARD. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks .
 
Check for deposits on the rotors, though rare on cast rotors. Scotchbrite or similar cleaning should work. Then re-check the steering head bearings.
 
i have a single disc front on my '74 eldo... I used to get shudder (death wobble-ish) at high speeds under severe braking.
Front shocks were always crappy... even new. Also the upper tripple tree plate (LAPD) was warped... probably from years of bad uneven shock stresses.
Swapped out parts as good as possible but it's an old bike so I stopped doing that.
 
Merry Xmas everyone !!!. Checked the steering head bearings and they seemed ok. Found the nut on top of the upper triple clamp (under the dash) was FINGER TIGHT.!! Torqued it down and has taken 95% of the shudder away. Cheers Kiwi Croc.
